Product Advisories
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. PowerFlex® 750-Series drives may contain high
voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove power from the drive, and then verify
power has been discharged before removing the drive cover.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The network communication option

module contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you
do not follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are required when
handling the card. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see Guarding
Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.

IMPORTANT These instructions describe installing the network communication module into the drive.
Depending on the type of network communication option module you are installing,
additional, important procedures may also need to be performed. See the appropriate
user manuals for detailed information about these procedures.
Network Communication Option Module Installation Instructions

Install the Network Communication Option Module

1. Remove power from the drive.
2. Remove the drive cover and lift up the drive HIM cradle (with or without the HIM installed) to its open
position to access the drive control pod.

3. Insert the network communication option module into drive Port 4, 5 or 6. Make sure the module is
fully seated into the connector.

 Network Communication Option Module Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT If you are using a PROFIBUS or dual-port PROFINET network communication module
(20-750-PBUS or 20-750-PNET2P) with another network communication module that is
positioned in the port to the left of the PROFIBUS or PROFINET module, you must
replace the T15 Torx screw that holds the other network communication module to the
lower mounting bracket.
Replace the T15 Torx screw with a spare T8 Torx screw that is included with PROFIBUS
and PROFINET modules. Due to its larger size, it is possible for the T15 Torx screw to
come into contact with the PROFIBUS / PROFINET cable connector and cause faulty
operation. Using the smaller T8 Torx screw helps eliminate this problem.
Perform step 4 and step 5 if another network communication module is positioned in
the port to the left of the PROFIBUS or PROFINET network communication module;
otherwise, disregard these steps and go to step 6.

4. Remove the lower T15 Torx mounting screw (Detail

A) from the network communication module that is
to the left of the PROFIBUS or PROFINET network
PROFIBUS or communication module. To remove the captive
PROFINET T15 Torx screw, the module must be removed to
Module
back the screw out of the mounting clip.
5. Replace the larger T15 Torx screw with the smaller
spare T8 Torx mounting screw that was shipped
with the PROFIBUS or PROFINET network
communication module.
6. Tighten both of the option module mounting
screws to the pod mounting bracket to properly
ground the module to the drive. Tighten both
screws to the recommended torque shown in the
following figure.
